hey everybody
I need a cat shrink
Rascal came home today from the vet and his sister is now hissing and growling at him whenever he comes near her
I'm all upset because I really liked that they got along
what the heck is it?
does he smell different from having been away?
did she get used to having the place/us to herself?
is this gonna pass?

My co-worker Kerry is trying to quit smoking; she's been thru everything, even hypnosis, to no avail. But now she's trying a newer drug... can't remember the name of it... starts with a C, I think. Today is her 8th day on the drug and the first day they don't allow you a cig. I'm thinking I should call in sick. LOL!!! I can't imagine how hard it is to stop... I've smoked on and off but have never gotten addicted. Very lucky I guess.

I've quit a few addictions and smoking was the hardest
even now, 20 years later, there are still parts of it I miss - something about the hand mouth thing and sucking in the smoke, though not at all the smoke itself
I think possibly quitting heroin may be easier, because at least you're not expected to function, whereas when you quit smoking, you not only have to function, but the support is minimal and you're not anything special afterwards

How true. And I wonder if more smokers would be able to quit if they actually could take 'rehab time' off for a week or two, so they could make it through the initial withdrawal and not have to function.
And some of the drugs out there to help quit list headache and mood swings as side effects, as if one needs more of that when trying to break the nicotine craving!

good news
Drache, my PI king, appears to be well again
I'm not sure I posted about his abscess and he daily batrin injections and mouth swabbings he so hated
anyway
he was still a little puffy after the course of treatment, but since he had had a huge swelling before, leaving the area distended, and was obviously going to shed, I wanted to wait until after the shed to see whether he needed another round of antibiotics - whatever it was that worked on the culture
he shed today and there isn't even any of the residual puffiness that was still there before the shed
I'm so glad, he's all well

[Stefan-A]

Okay, so my parietalis has shed twice after brumation but she hasn't really grown in lenght since, well, last summer. She has however put on a bit of weight. She was about 132 grams before brumation, now she's 163. I better put her on a diet.

Getting cloudy eyes again, at 183 grams. Minus a partly digested mouse.

[drache]

wow
talk about a growth spurt

[Stefan-A]

I'm pretty sure it's not really in length and if it's in width, I really can't tell.
